Ended up with two completely different cheeks and too much filler in the nasolabial lines. The fillers can give very good results if your doctor know what he is doing.
Dr. Christopher Manios ( Danville, CA) is a very very bad doctor. He doesn't know what he is doing! I went to Dr. Manios for cheeks augmentation and nasolabial folds. First visit: he put 1 syringe of Juvederm voluma in each... more

After having oral surgery and years of orthodontia my upper pallet had changed so much that I was left w a sunken in cheek bone line. It made deep wrinkles on the nasiolabial folds (by my mouth) in my 20's. So I went thru my friend's aunt for my juvederm.
She put numbing cream on my face, let it sit... Stuff is like novacain for the face! Then she whipped out the prefilled juvederm and... more

I'm going to give a little background about my experience/history with fillers and Botox because it will provide more context to why I think Dr. Mehta is so amazing.
I'm 32 years old and have been getting Botox since I was about 26 or 27, when I started noticing furrows forming between my brows. They weren't severe, but I wanted to nip them in the bud before they got worse, which has worked... more

So disappointed over Juvederm Voluma. Recently had 1 syringe injected in both my cheeks to replace loss of plumpness. i'm a Native American woman with high cheekbones which had always been an enhancement to my face. over the years, the fullness is gone. Thinking properly placed Juvederm Voluma would help return my cheekbones to their former glory. Well the joke was on me. The product... more

I am 41 years old, and though my Mexican skin has kept me youthful looking, I noticed my parentheses lines had gotten a lot deeper since turning 40. I asked my doctor for filler, and he recommended Juvederm XC. I LOVE the result. It was painless and took at least five years off my face immediately without being obvious. It just gave me my old face back! My doctor is very skilled and good at... more

So my lips are pretty thin. I thought it would be fun to have some fuller lips for when I got to meet my favorite singer. I got Juvederm injected in them and also some to the folds under my nose. The first day after I liked it, but I was swollen. By the point this picture was taken, it was about 4 weeks after and my lips really were exactly the same as before. So I felt that was not worth... more

Over a year ago, I had Juvederm injected into my lips, in order to give them an even fuller appearance. The injector (Nurse) that I had this done by, was terrible. One syringe was used in three large shots, one in center of the lower lip and two on the sides of the upper lip. Obviously this resulted in irritating lumps. They subsided over the year, and I never had the lumps dissolved with the... more

At age 43 I felt my face was starting to sag! I received Juvederm XC for tear troughs and lips, and Juvederm XC Ultra for marionnette and naso-labial folds. My dermatologist feels that Juvederm is a good choice for a first experience with fillers since the gel is 'softer' under the skin compared to Restylane/Perlane, so we went with that.
OMG the pain and the tenderness. I can hardly touch... more

I have been going to Dr. Commons for botox and juvederm for about 2 years now. I had seen 3 others before him and am happy to say he is my favorite of them all. He has a very nice bedside manner and his suggestions are so incredibly helpful. He is honest and will tell you if he thinks something you had in mind isn't a good idea, which I am truly grateful for.

I decided to get my lips plumped with Juvederm after researching online. I had my appt today. There was not a lot of pain and I had a full syringe. Left with little swelling, iced the lips then slowly it got swollen and bruised seems to be a bit more swollen then the pics I have seen. Does the amount of swelling and bruising I have seen normal. Would like to hear your experiences. Sent pics... more

My lips were a bit uneven and not quite as full as I'd like, so I decided to give Juvederm a try. As it was my first time getting any sort of cosmetic procedure, I opted for half a syringe initially for more modest results and I couldn't be happier. The results are subtle and natural (read: skilled and precise injection), but make a huge difference to me. more

I found Dr. Mehta on RealSelf and so glad I did! I have done laser hair removal as well as fillers in the lips, nose, nasiolabial folds and cheeks with Dr. Mehta at his office in Atherton, CA.
I was very nervous to try the laser hair removal as i've had friends who would tell me how painful it was. The procedure was PAINLESS. I have done my full 6 sessions, and couldn't be happier with... more

I am very pleased with my Botox and Juvederm results. Dr. Commons' Botox technique gave me a brow lift along with getting rid of my heavy brow frown line, eliminatied my crow's feet and under eye wrinkles. The Juvederm filled in my thin wrinkled jaw line, smoothed out my wrinkles in and around my lips (my lipstick goes on great now), eliminated the bunny lines on my nasal bridge and the lines... more

Wanted poutier lips.
My experience with Juvederm XC was great. It has been 8 months after my injection in my lips, and they still look great. I have looked at many online at before and after pictures, and have never seen results like mine. I am VERY satisfied with the results.
Overall the procedure was painless and fast. I saw immediate results, but after a few ... more

I'd been to this dermatologist before for V-beam and was very happy with the results. Went back a few years later (I'm now 46) for juvederm around the mouth to hide a bit of sagging/beginning of marionette lines. She injected one syringe total and it has now been three weeks.
On one side the sagging looked much worse, not better. Overall, I just look chubbier around the mouth, not... more

I had the Juvederm inject October 12,2011, had huge bruise with deep swelling. It have been four weeks, the swelling have not gone or decreased. I did went back to my derm...there's nothing he can do. I just have to suffer longer to see the result. I don't reconmmend this inject. Unless you want to see your face bruised, swelling and feeel numbness everyday. more

Using the injectables has helped me have a very youthful look without having to go through a surgical procedure. It has subtracted years from my appearance!It's easy, quick, effective and affordable. more

I was not planning on having this procedure, but going to the medical office to support my roommate while she got the procedure. She did not show up, and I felt pressured at the office, so I got Juvederm done. I already had a full lower lip, so my nurse injected a lot into my top lip and a little to my lower lip, under my lip, and my nasolabial folds.
I LOVE the results. This discreet... more

I am not sure if it was restalyne or juvederm but basically I had injections of filler into my smile lines. It hurt badly and the results were only noticeable good for about 2 weeks. I do have very deep lines and they had to use a lot of product. I had some swelling and bruising which I did not mind too much.
I would only do this again if they made a product that lasted longer. I cannot... more

I'm 43 and had some bags under my eyes. Went to a plastic surgeon to discuss surgery options. She suggested I could buy some time with filler and asked if I had a preference for restylane or juvederm. I did not know the difference and she injected 1 syringe of juvederm. She also said that if I did not like the results there was an "antidote."Immediately, I got a raised bump under... more
